You're right. Pentax lenses are a bit thin on the ground at the moment.
But I have bought two lenses recently on Ebay at two thirds or three
quarters of new price. By sustaining second-hand prices, I have helped
Pentax sell more new lenses (or would have done, if you could get them.
:-) )

This is a
Pentax list, but sometimes it reads like a piece of Canon Marketing
propaganda.
I've got two *ist D, and several superb lenses which can't be bettered
by Canon
at any price. Using Ebay (which still exists, by the way) I have
managed to
acquire several excellent lenses at very good prices.
Pentax made a serious mistake with their choice of sensor (and sensor
size) with the MZD or whatever it was called, and it cost them dear, but
they are coming back. Give them time. And meanwhile shoot some
pictures.
And stop whingeing.
It's the one bad aspect of an otherwise excellent list.
Oh come on, I suspect that you'll find that the "whingers" have been
some of
the Pentax brands strongest supporters in the past, not just buyers of a
few
second hand lenses off eBay. Why don't you support the brand and buy
some new
lenses, oh sorry that's right they are near impossible to get now....
